'Meant' in the Bible

Startled by his statement, she tried to figure out what his greeting meant.

Then his disciples began to ask him what this parable meant.

But they didn't know what this meant. Indeed, the meaning was hidden from them so that they didn't understand it; and they were afraid to ask him about this statement.

But they didn't understand any of this. What he said was hidden from them, and they didn't know what he meant.
